Jeff Tweedy at our Wedding?


Recommended Posts

Blue and Green and I (lovenmercy) have spent three years getting to know each

other and falling in love to Jeff's songs. It would be a dream come true to have Jeff play

Someday, Some Morning, Sometime at our wedding.

 

So, just for fun, I want to see what other VC'ers think it would take to make this pipe

dream come true?

Are you rich? Maybe if you donated a ton of money to a charity he believes in he would do it.

As much as I love to donate to charity, we are decidedly NOT rich, nor are we "well off" or even "comfortable" for that matter. I had thought about that option in my fantasy.

Thanks for humoring me. :cheekkiss

Perhaps I could scrape up a little dough for a charity. PLUS, we could do all of our decorations in macrame! :yes

Having someone that good at a wedding is a bad idea. You'll barely get to talk to all your favorite people as it is. You don't need a musician that you actually want to pay attention to. It'd be a distraction.

Unless he helicoptors in and out, like Playboy bunnies.

Where are you getting married? It might help if they aren't touring and you're getting married close to Chicago.

 

I agree with the earlier commenter: maybe you could have him do 3 songs, because otherwise his performance

would get more attention than the wedding.

We're going to have an outdoor wedding in one of the Indiana state parks...not sure which one yet. That will be decided this weekend.

 

And yes, I agree that the certainty of his outstanding performance would overshadow our vows.

 

It was just a fun idea.

first off, congrats

 

may i ask, did you two meet on the boards? are marriages between VCers common, or is this the first? I used to post in a Gulf Coast Music Scene board (local bands, venues for the area) and there were like three or four marriages that spawned from that board.

 

maybe jeff tweedy will read this and show up... and if he does, you could sell tickets and solve this problem AND the money problem.

 

otherwise, you might have to hogtie him as previously suggested.

It is somewhat common. My husband and I met here. I think we were maybe the 2nd VC couple to get married 3 years ago? There have been others since.

You should still write to him and ask. The worst thing that can happen is no reply. Maybe he'll answer back!

If you did a private beach in Michigan, you could have him do Spiders. ;-)

or you could just get a boombox with a cd. cheap AND easy. and you won't have to worry with people looking at tweedy and not you. or you could get a poster of tweedy and put the boombox behind it and sit everyone really far away. have him behind a tree jonathan richman like, with just a guitar.

Hey congrats! I am getting married the same week June 1, 2008 and I am just trying to convince the wife to be to have I'm The Man Who Loves you as one of our songs to be interpreted by the band we hired! :dancing

 

Maybe Jeff can do a one week long wedding tour :stunned
